Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of ending each day before starting a new one, by getting a good night's sleep in between. The phrase "interpose a solid wall of sleep between the two" implies the need for a boundary and separation between daily activities in order to promote rest and rejuvenation. The quote suggests that achieving this requires practicing temperance, or moderation and balance in all aspects of life, as excessive or indulgent behavior can hinder one's ability to maintain consistent and sufficient sleep.
